'Snowpiercer' May Be The International Movie To See This Summer...

Ho-ly SHIT! I just saw the trailer for Snowpiercer, the South Korean import film from Bong Joon-ho (director of The Host & Mother, both insanely great flicks) that marks his English speaking film debut. The film is an adaption of a graphic novel La Transperceneige, a French comic by Jacques Lob. The film focuses on a dystopian future in which mankind has forced a new Ice Age while trying to cure global warming. The only surviving folks, rich and poor, live on a train called 'Snowpiercer'. The train has a perpetual motion engine and travels along a world spanning track. The rich people live in the front of the train, and as you get to the rear of the train you travel down in class. At the rear of the train is the poorest of the poor, the ones who keep the train functioning. Lead by a rebel named Curtis (Chris Evans) they begin to travel car to car towards the front, overthrowing the guards and taking control of the train. Bloody car after bloody car, the class system that has been set begins to crumble and a true power struggle ensues. Who will control the train, rich or poor? Whoever comes out on top controls the only environment that is fit for life... wow, what a great concept that looks even more bad ass on screen. The futuristic, yet primal conditions on the train (who fights with axes in 2031???) make this movie even crazier! The film also stars Jaime Bell, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Ed Harris & Alison Pill. Snowpiercer receives its US release June 27th, and will gain a wider release if the market dictates. They got my money for sure... how about you? Check the trailer out after the jump...

Being Captain America Is Enough To Get The Girl Everytime

This ad for Gucci Guilty (who should sent a brother some swag just for mentioning their product)employs the look of Sin City and that's no surprise as it was directed by Frank Miller, the creator and director of the iconic stories. Both the comic books and motion pictures were revelations to me at a time in my life when I was reading more adult graphic novels. I loved the movie and it seems to me that if Miller can line his pockets with a little commercial advertising cash then he could be working on a sequel film. Only let someone else handle the script. We learned from the Spirit that he needs a little help in that area. However, as a visual craftsman, he is top notch, honest. I like the combination of Frank Miller's groovy style with advertising. It works magic in short bursts.

Even Rachel Wood is not someone I would have thought of as the femme fatale but there it is. Of course Chris Evans could work with any girl and make it all look cool.

Avengers Assemble... For Homeroom!!!

God bless your heart Reddit. I love that site so much, mostly because of the funny & wild things that people post on there in relation to pop culture. So when I saw this group photo of The Earth's Mightiest Heroes as mere High Schoolers, I flipped my wog. Great job... see you guys in Study Hall!!! Click after the jump to see the pic.

OHC of the Day: Denise Vasi

'OHC' stands for Obscure Hot Chick of the day... just another beautiful actress that you may or may not know of yet...but, we are sure you will soon. Click after the jump to see more pics of the lovely Denise Vasi....


Denise Vasi is talented model and actress from our neck of the woods...Brooklyn. You may have seen her in print ad or as Randi in the, long running, ABC daytime soap 'All My Children'. Or maybe she made you randy in the unfunny rom-com 'When in Rome' playing a skilled waitress. Right now, though this Grecian/Dominican goddess is sizzlin' up the screen in 'What's Your Number' alongside Anna Farris and Chris 'Captain America' Evans. I's ask her what her number was...but, I'd probably never call. I'm to shy..I opt for stalking her daily though this CCD photo spread.
